Cats are known for being fastidious groomers, sometimes finicky eaters, and endlessly adorable.  They are also notorious about their litter box skills–or lack of.  The number one reason kitties are surrendered to shelters is due to inappropriate elimination.  In other words, for NOT using their litter box!  It can be maddening and drive cat parents crazy. If you’ve ever suffered through cat litter box problems you need to keep reading.  This story may just give you some inspiration!

In the spirit of Christmas and our passion for everything about cats I have an extra special treat to share with you!  Tagging off the famous ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas poem, I created a slightly different version.  The famous expression, “I work hard so my cat can have a better life,” rings true to those of us who are owned by a cat or two.  This poem is dedicated to all the cat parents out there who never think twice about the sacrifices made or lengths they go to in order to make their kitties feel loved and pampered!

Have you ever encountered a feral cat who was injured and needed help? A couple of weeks ago I was finally able to get a closer look at our furry orange neighbor.  He had the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen.  I saw several red, open wounds around his neck.  Some of the open wounds were partially covered in black, including inside one of his ears.  The right side of his face was swollen as if a golf ball was inside his cheek.  My heart broke for him!  

What is your vibrational energy? Vibrational energy, even though it’s unseen, it can often be “felt” if we slow down long enough and take it in.  Good energy is easy to recognize because we are attracted to its vibration.  It’s why we are drawn to certain people, places, and even animals.  Bad energy is just […]

When It’s Time To Say Goodbye To Your Cat The cycle of life can be down right heart breaking.  After recently losing my precious Hershey after almost 17 years together I can honestly say I have no regrets.  He got the best holistic care, I offered him the best food, he enjoyed several family vacations, […]

For those of us who absolutely love cats it’s no surprise how easy they tug at our heartstrings.  When you have one cat and decide to get another one it’s usually an easy decision…especially when it’s a really cute kitten!  Whether you realize it or not there’s an unspoken hierarchy when you have multiple cats.  […]

As cat parents it’s up to us to learn how to “read” our cats and truly understand them.  When they are happy they show it by head bunting, purring, kneading or “making biscuits,” and wanting to be near  you.  When they’re not happy they can be very devious.  They’ve even figured out the best way to get our attention:   peeing on something that’s personal to us.

Indoor vs outdoor cats I grew up in the country, and we didn’t give a second thought to letting our kitties outside.  They loved finding sunny places to nap, chasing bugs, birds and squirrels, and spending time in nature.  We had a few neighborhood dogs that would come around and try to stir up trouble, […]
